Psalm 142:4-5

I look for someone to come and help me,

    but no one gives me a passing thought!

Then I pray to you, O LORD.

    I say, "You are my place of refuge.

    You are all I really want in life."

 

I look for someone to come and help me, but no one gives me a passing thought! No one will help me; no one cares a bit what happens to me.
